Highlighted Reviews
"My sheltie loves this toy, he carries it to me by the tail a lot and chews on it, it's very resilient. For him, the squeaker add on was unnecessary because his jaw isn't strong enough to squeak it anyways, but it works well when I tested it."
"My greyhound took less than one minute to chew the whales tail off....very disappointing"
Bottom Line
While the KONG AirDog Off/On Squeaker Whale Dog Toy has some novelty features, its poor durability makes it a risky purchase for any dog who chews aggressively, especially for larger breeds.
